Cost-benefit analysis of MAXUS electric vans for businesses

Rivervale Group delves into the cost-benefit analysis of electric vans in the UK and explains why MAXUS commercial electric vans should be your top choice.

In today’s rapidly changing business landscape, it’s crucial for UK businesses to stay ahead of the curve by adopting sustainable and cost-effective solutions. One such solution that has gained significant traction in recent years is the transition to electric vehicles (EVs).

Comparing upfront costs and maintenance expenses

When considering the purchase of an electric van in the UK, the initial price tag may seem higher compared to traditional petrol or diesel vehicles. However, the good news is that there are numerous government grants and tax incentives designed to make the switch to electric more accessible for businesses.

Furthermore, electric vans have a distinct advantage when it comes to maintenance costs. Unlike vehicles with internal combustion engines (ICE), EVs have significantly fewer components, resulting in substantial savings on maintenance expenses. As the owner of a MAXUS electric van, you’ll have access to an extensive Authorised Repairer Network operating throughout the UK and Europe, ensuring expert technical support and access to genuine parts.

Fuel savings and operational costs

Rising energy costs in the UK may have you concerned about the impact of electric vans on your electricity bill. However, owning a MAXUS commercial electric van comes with a remarkable benefit – regenerative braking. This innovative technology converts the kinetic energy generated by the van’s momentum into electricity, effectively recharging your vehicle’s battery while you drive. This means you’ll never have to worry about oil changes, oil filters, or fuel filters. Instead, you’ll simply recharge the battery, making operational costs more predictable and environmentally friendly.

Tax incentives and government grants for electric commercial vehicles

The UK government is committed to phasing out new petrol and diesel vehicles mandating that all new cars and vans must be zero emissions at the tailpipe by 2035. As part of this effort, the government offers tax incentives and grants to encourage businesses to transition their fleets to electric commercial vehicles.

For instance, both small and large electric vans are eligible for a plug-in grant, effectively reducing their purchase price. MAXUS is proud to announce that the MAXUS eDeliver 3 and MAXUS eDeliver 9 ranges, along with the MAXUS T90EV pick-up vehicle, qualify for this grant.

Additionally, there are grants available to install electric vehicle charging infrastructure in commercial car parks, as well as the Workplace Charging Scheme (WCS) grant for small-to-medium-sized businesses.
